I am living proof of this.
Relationships should bring us emotional fulfillment and in some relationships....the fulfillment goes straight to our stomach.
A new study suggests that the average person now gains 36 POUNDS in a relationship. 17 of those 36 pounds happen in the first year!
The reasons we gain weight?
42% say it's going out to dinner.
34% say it's cooking together and drinking.
64% say it's because they could relax their diet since they weren't trying to find dates all the time.
For my story... I just got 'fat and happy.' I didn't take the time out to exercise (still not finding enough motivation to exercise but that's another story for another time when I'm self-loathing.)
